This one is, oddly, a little too muted in flavor. Not sure what it needs, but some adjustment. Maybe just a more assertive tequila, the Ocho Plato is so smooth, I love it but it doesn’t stand up to strong flavors, or maybe it just needs a little more bitterness, shake the lime peels in with the rest of it.

2 oz tequila blanco

1/2 oz each of orange liqueur, Ancho Reyes Verde, green chartreuse, mezcal (the good one. The Chipicapa is so delicious you can just mix it with tequila or whiskey and sip it)

Juice of one lime.

    Subtle flex with the Chartreuse.

    Surprised tho that it’s muted in flavor? Perhaps muddle a couple jalapeno slices before shaking?

      Maybe, it’s a one and done so will try tomorrow. Was thinking of Campari but that would wreck the color, so thinking take out the orange liqueur, maybe add some bitters instead.
